Is there any easy way to get a list of which filters are actually being used?

[Lupe]

We are auditing the saved Filters for our company and would like to know if there's a way to see which filters are in use and which are not.  Is the filter truly running on either an active  sprint/kanban board or active dashboard gadget?  How do we find out?

Hi @Lupe 

I am aware of no built-in features to inventory the saved filters by usage. 

There may be a marketplace app to do this, so perhaps look there first: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/

A much more labor-intense thing to try is to call the various REST API functions, repeatedly, to find references.  For example, Get Board by Filter Id finds all the boards associated to a saved filter.  And search for all filters to find any subscriptions.

Dashboards are more difficult, and I am unclear how you can find the associated filters with those, as some gadgets copy the filter and others use the saved ones directly.

Kind regards,
Bill
